The host of the eponymous podcast “takes readers on an adventure through several well-researched categories of facts and trivia… with a dash of humor”—Elise Hennessy, author of the Blood Legacy series

So what if you picked up some historical inaccuracies (and flat-out myths) in history class. Your Brain on Facts is here to teach and reteach readers relevant trivia. It explains surprising science in simple language, gives the unexpected origins of pop culture classics, and reveals important titbits related to current issues.

Get ready for trivia night done right. Inside, find true facts, strange facts, and just plain weird facts. Your Brain on Facts features general trivia questions and answers, offering science, art, technology, medicine, music, and history trivia to brainiacs everywhere.

Learn: - What’s the language of the stateless nation in the Pyrenees mountains - Where the world-changing birth control pill was tested - Who wrote lyrics for the Star Trek theme song that were never used
